Add a KVM self-test that checks whether a nSVM L1 is able to successfully inject a software interrupt, a soft exception and a NMI into its L2 guest. In practice, this tests both the next_rip field consistency and L1-injected event with intervening L0 VMEXIT during its delivery: the first nested VMRUN (that's also trying to inject a software interrupt) will immediately trigger a L0 NPF. This L0 NPF will have zero in its CPU-returned next_rip field, which if incorrectly reused by KVM will trigger a #PF when trying to return to such address 0 from the interrupt handler. For NMI injection this tests whether the L1 NMI state isn't getting incorrectly mixed with the L2 NMI state if a L1 -> L2 NMI needs to be re-injected.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
